I recently discovered, or possibly rediscovered, that all deleted items are "forced-visible to all 10k users all the time." I never considered rep gain to be something with a downside before, especially because there's no way to directly message a non-diamond 10k user to ask for something to be closed/edited/deleted/whatever. At my current levels of rep gain, this isn't something I'll have to worry about for a few years at least, but it seems to me that it could be pretty annoying to have to see all the stuff that gets deleted. So I'm curious: have any users tried to keep their rep under 10k, or reached 10k and regretted it?

(At first I thought about asking what we could do about this, but then I realized I should first find out whether people actually consider it a problem or not.)
